Bible Question:
In my new Updated NASB, at 1 John "Author and Date of Writing", it says - "He was a first cousin of Jesus." Can you please tell me how you arrived at this conclusion [I can see where John the Baptist was His cousin] |
Bible Answer: Helen47 Your Bible must be a Study Bible or an annotated reference Bible as the NASB Bible itself does not include Author or Time of Writing information. However that is very common info included in most Study Bibles. I would love to know which Study Bible you have. Inside on the first few pages should list the publisher. 1 John was written by the John the Apostle this is confirmed by Polycarp a disciple of John that often quoted from the works. Also the literary style is nearly identical to the fourth gospel which again we know to be written by John the Apostle. EdB |
